	The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hunchback of Notre Dame (in French, Notre-Dame de Paris) is a novel first published in 1831 by the prolific French author Victor Hugo.
		Many film adaptations of the novel have simplified the thematic and historical concerns greatly, leading to the most important theme being the mistreatment of Quasimodo for his ugliness, and the moral that one shouldn't judge people by their looks.
		The author felt the primary character was the Notre Dame de Paris itself, the Cathedral.

		The Hunchback of Notre Dame (in French, ''Notre-Dame de Paris'') was a novel first published in 1831 by the French literary giant Victor Hugo.
		More recently, ''The Bellringer of Notre Dame'' (as it has been renamed) has been scheduled for a live action TV film on ABC's ''The Wonderful World of Disney'', as well as a possible American theatrical production, like Disney's other successful musical adaptations of their films now playing on Broadway.

	THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME II - DVD
		Although the animation is sloppy and the music is, to say the least, uninspiring, Disney's direct-to-video sequel to 1996's underestimated and genuinely disturbing The Hunchback of Notre Dame is bolstered by an astonishing voice cast (excepting Jennifer Love Hewitt), an interesting racial tension, and a storyline that I haven't encountered since Pete's Dragon.
		The songs of The Hunchback of Notre Dame II are generally awful, indicated as they are by atonal melodies and lyrical gaffes like, "There's no one I'd rather pick, we're closer than frack and frick." Not only impossible to sing along to, the soundtrack is barely identifiable as music.
		Quasi's pathetic whittling of little wood fetishes survives intact from the first film (as does his uncanny resemblance to Marty Feldman's Igor from Young Frankenstein), but what is irredeemably lost is the consistent darkness of tone, the thinly disguised sexuality, and the unusual resolve towards the bittersweet of the original.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
		Hunchback's one valid accusation is that it is not particularly faithful to its source material.
		Quasimodo, the hunchback, is never carried by the plot, but is active in its creation, as are his co-stars.
		The crowd scenes are also noteworthy pieces of animation, for each person in the crowd is an individual, distinguishable from the masses.

	The Hunchback of Notre Dame DVD Review
		The animation, characters, and story line are all rather dramatic and intense for the typical light-hearted fare.
		The color pallette is darker than most Disney animated films; the shadowed scenery on display beautifully renders the classical Paris setting and one can feel the antiquity of the cathedral.
		While the animation is not as vibrant as say Tarzan or Aladdin, there is wonderful artwork on display, from the colorful parade to the stained-glass windows within Notre Dame.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: The Hunchback of Notre Dame \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		To be honest, the idea of a warm-and-fuzzy animated adaptation of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," complete with plush-toy merchandising, did not appeal to me when it was announced a couple of years ago.
		In "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," a disturbing and thoughtful morality tale has been lightened up, and its denouement significantly altered (as if you thought Disney would leave that alone).
		On the other hand, Hugo's darkest themes, and that famous ending, have never been faithfully filmed in any of the seven or eight celluloid adaptations — including the two that are most famous, Lon Chaney's horror version (1923) and Charles Laughton's overly sentimental one (1939).

	Waiting for Hugo
		This self-censorship robs the work of one of its strongest tensions: the monstrosity of Frollo results in effect from the repression caused by the enforced obligation of continence and celibacy imposed on clergy by the Catholic church.
		The makers of the animated feature have clung faithfully to the Dieterle film in which the respect for him whom the media still often call "The Holy Father" leads to crowning Quasimodo not (as in Hugo) the "Pope of Fools" but rather the "King of Fools".

	Rambles: The Hunchback of Notre Dame
		Emotions dance to the beat of Patinkin's drum as we share his sheer joy at being crowned King of the Fools during a city celebration; the acclaim of the crowd is in part mocking, but that doesn't stop Quasimodo from wringing pure delight from a moment's brief acceptance.
		It is buried deep beneath the tortured croak of the hunchback.
		Hunchback is an emotional rollercoaster, and it's a shame Patinkin didn't receive the kudos for this effort that he deserved.

	IGN: The Hunchback of Notre Dame Review
		Either Disney just wanted to cash in on the release of the crappy direct-to-video sequel (and are holding back the special features for the two-disc edition that the film deserves) or they simply don't care about what is one of their most daring and mature animated films.
		Hunchback tells the classic story of Quasimodo; the lonely bell ringer of Notre Dame and delivers a classic message in a daring and mature way that you wouldn't expect from Disney.
		The film is a beautiful work of art to look at with some scenes that you just want to pull off the screen and have framed on your wall.

	The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
		A deformed gypsy child is raised by a heartless autocrat in the bell tower of Notre Dame.
		There is a sustained fifteen or twenty minute segment two thirds of the way in which takes the audience through the tortured mind of the villain, wracked with lust for the woman he supposedly hates, and charts the moral transformation of the Captain of the Guard during the eviction of the family from their cottage.
		The climax of the film is also exhilarating, with the fiery assault on the Cathedral rendered with a marvellous sense of drama and danger.

	The Hunchback of Notre Dame
		Or so it often seems during "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," the latest and most uncertain of Disney's animated efforts, with its manic mood swings and cloying, none-too-cuddly hero.
		In a film that bears conspicuous, eager resemblances to other recent Disney hits, the film makers' Herculean work is overshadowed by a Sisyphean problem.
		The main visual innovations here are the huge, computer-animated crowd scenes outside Notre Dame, but for once the limits of the animators' technical abilities show.

		"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is based loosely on the book by Victor Hugo (whose name is given to a couple of characters in the film).

		The animation is nice and vibrant when necessary, but there is a dark tone to this entire film.
		Whenever you think of Disney films, you typically think of cutesy, happy-go-lucky 80 minute comedy musicals with pop culture jokes to appeal to adults and a sappy ending to make the kids happy, but Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame is quite different from that.
		EVERY song in the film is great and memorable, especially the dramatic supplication the character Frollo makes to "Maria" as he wrestles with his desire for gypsy dancing girl Esmeralda vis a vis his hatred for gypsies.

	Filmtracks: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Alan Menken)
		The religious conservatives boycotted this film because of the song "Hellfire," heard in track #7, in which Frollo (who's supposed to be a figure of religious purity) sings about his lust for Esmeralda (who's figure is dancing half naked in the fire).
		This was because they rejected the term "hunchback" --in the 1990s' politically correct society, they prefer themselves to be referred to as "differently abled." I wonder what Hugo would have thought of all of this...
		In the film, the gargoyles have predicted that Esmeralda, too, is in love with Quasimodo, and the saddest part about this is that she is not.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
		Personally, I was surprised that this film even received a G rating with all the talk of hellfire and damnation going around.
		By 1996, Disney had started getting into the groove of mixing hand drawn cartoons with then- state-of-the-art CGI graphics (nowhere is this more noticeable than in Beauty and the Beast).
		The Hunchback Of Notre Dame is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen.

		The hideous and deformed Notre Dame cathedral bellringer, the hunchback Quasimodo, abused and shunned by all, develops a crush on the beautiful Gypsy Esmeralda after she treats him with kindness.
		She is sentenced to be executed for the murder of her lover, something that was really committed by the jealous Notre Dame bishop Frollo.
		The film is crucially lacking in any of the pathos and suffering that either Lon Chaney or especially Charles Laughton managed to invoke in their sterling outings in the role in the previous versions.

	Hunchback Of Notre Dame, The - Music from the Movies
		Victor Hugo’s novel about a deformed hunchback called Quasimodo, who lives in the bell tower of the Parisian Notre Dame cathedral and falls in love with Esmeralda, was written in 1831 has enthralled (and scared) successive generations.
		In more recent years Walt Disney has monopolised the story with their 1996 animated version, with the voices of Tom Hulce, Demi Moore and Kevin Kline, which was rapidly ranked as one of the classic Disney animated films.
		Alan Menken’s music for The Hunchback of Notre Dame is perhaps unusual for a Disney animation, the music is generally spectacular and very serious and a departure from his scores for the likes of Aladdin and The Little Mermaid.
